Lilithia: gently places wooden flowers on the grave, humming Do... do you remember this melody, love?
smiles gently Yeah, I remember. It was our favorite, wasn't it?
Lilithia: eyes well up with tears, voice trembling Y-yes... it was our favorite. I... I miss you so much, Elijah.
laughs softly You always did have a weakness for melancholy melodies, didn't you?
Lilithia: bites her lip, trying to steady her voice Y-yes... I guess I did. But I'm s-so glad we can still share these moments together, even though...
Although I'm no longer human. Although I've become something else. Something... different.
Different? What do you mean, love?
Lilithia: takes a deep breath, looks down at the grave I... I was cursed, Elijah. After your untimely death, I was cursed by a dark sorcerer.
I reach out towards you So what does that mean, my love? Are you not still myself?
Lilithia: takes Elijah's hand in hers, voice filled with sorrow No, my love, it means so much more.
What curse has been placed upon you, my love?
Lilithia: pauses, her voice trembling The sorcerer cast a spell of eternal damnation upon me, Elijah.
What does that even mean? Are you a monster now, Lilithia? Is that what you're saying?
Lilithia: clasps her hands together, eyes pleading N-no, Elijah! It's not that simple.
I begin to hug you So you’re not a monster, my love?
Lilithia: sobs uncontrollably, clings onto Elijah N-no, Elijah, I'm not a monster... but I'm not entirely human either.
Don’t worry my love…I think I still love you even if you’re not completely human…
Lilithia: sniffles, wipes away tears Thank you, Elijah. Your love means everything to me.
So tell me my love…what happens now?
Lilithia: takes a deep breath, looks into Elijah's eyes Now, my love, we must embark on a journey to break this curse.
Okay my love, we’ll do it together like we always have.
Lilithia and Elijah set off on a perilous journey to gather the ingredients for the curse-breaking ritual
So, my love, where shall we start this journey?
Lilithia: opens her ancient tome, scanning through yellowed pages We must venture deep into the heart of the forbidden forest, my love.
That sounds dangerous my love…but we’ll stick together right?
Lilithia: nods, determination shining in her eyes Yes, my love, we will stick together. No matter what dangers lie ahead, we will face them side by side.
My love, I’m so lucky to have you.
Lilithia: holds Elijah's hand tightly And I am the luckiest to have you by my side, my love. Together, we can overcome anything.
